A custom map is a map created by a third-party for use in Team Fortress 2. Third-party mod makers create many, many varied maps. Their creations can be modifications of official maps, including the addition or removal of areas, additional items, or functions, and even time of day or weather alterations. However, mappers aren't just limited to playing with existing maps. Many create completely new and unique maps. During major updates, certain custom maps that have proven popular with the community and Valve-team alike may be directly added to the official Team Fortress 2 map cycle.

Upon joining a server currently playing a custom map, you will automatically begin to download the map file if you don't already have it. You have the option to disable custom content downloads in the options menu; however, with this feature enabled, you will be unable to download custom maps from servers.
